What methods did this government use to teach the people of babylon? was the code appropriate for the time? would it work today? why or why not? the government is the monarchy. the code is the code of hammurabi.

There are as many as 300 laws that discuss a wide range of subjects, including homicide, assault, divorce, debt, adoption, tradesman’s fees, agricultural practices, and even disputes regarding the brewing of beer. However the law was unequal and even unfair to many.

In those times, the concept of eye for an eye was in use. This ruled if a person should lose their son in the collapse of a home, the builders son was be killed in exchange. However, this only applied if they were of the same social class. Also so much as helping a runaway slave was worthy of death.

So no, this law would not Ben practical today. As hardly would be alive and the strain of bias would be too great.
